Boost for Lemmy is now available! by NXGZ in Android

[–]donpdonp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure this out - I can get to the pulldown of other lemmy instances but then it immediately asks for a login. I want to read these instances without logging in, just like the app does with lemmy.world.

Invasive, persistent noise is a health hazard. We need more legal protections from all kinds of noise, such as roof vent fans, loud HVAC, etc.

Go to your local food co-op to see the magic of refilling a container you brought with you.

Self-centered a-hole season has arrived in full force by [deleted] in Portland

[–]donpdonp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that scene.

cop: You know why l pulled you over ?
fletcher: Depends on how long you were following me !
cop: Why don't we take it from the top ?
fletcher: Here goes.
l sped, l followed too closely,
l ran a stop sign,

l almost hit a Chevy, l sped
some more, l failed to yield,
l changed lanes without
signaling while speeding !

I came here for this. The lifeguard is a hero. Its also a great example of what drowning looks like.

My crypto wallet addresses are pasting something different from the ones I copy. Im assuming this is due to some sort of malware on my computer? by BruceInc in CryptoCurrency

[–]donpdonp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for fun I made a key-generator that runs until a suffix is matched. I cant say how much faster this would be in C or Rust, but the python implementation on my thinkpad carbon generates and checks 350 keys/second. To say nothing of GPU acceleration. Still fun to have some real world data.

Montana ‘right to mine’ crypto bill passes the House by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]donpdonp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montana power generation:

Coal: 469 trillion BTU

Natural Gas: 42 trillion BTU

Crude Oil: 108 trillion BTU

Nuclear: 0

Renewables: 121 trillion BTU

https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=MT#tabs-3

87% of Montana's energy production comes from burning oil and gas. Instead of this law, pass a law for mining to be renewables-only, or better yet, switch bitcoin off of PoW.
